All pilots current pay was cut! So yeah we’re making less today then we were yesterday. As far as the management goes we lost our DO and CP in the past week. I don’t know the reason behind it but they both left management to get back into flying.

Certainly sounds plausible, but unless they make a public statement we'll probably never know for sure. If the upper level management is so clueless as to cut pay in today's market, there's probably no shortage of other issues that might prompt Operational Management to resign.

Also .. sorry about the pay cut. That sucks. Hope you have your next move figured out and it's to a better place.

And one more thing ... Was this just announced today? I'd heard about the cut and the resignations sometime before the 17th.

I’m having a hard time believing this because of how absurd it sounds.

According the Ravn's news blog Hajdukovich became Vice President of the board of directors, whcih kind of implies that he's still got an equity share.

This is the guy who's been CEO since August. I'm assuming that there's not a separate CEO for Hageland.

Yeah the pay was just cut yesterday. The DO left probably around two weeks ago and the chief pilot just moved on....... we kinda got wind that management was leavig so it wasn’t a huge surprise. We heard of a possible pay cut but just assumed that it was a rumor. Apparently not

I think Hageland is a great opportunity to get your hours. I’m sure the company is doing fine and has a great future ahead of them. It’s not hard to turn around a company and put it in a cash flow positive direction when you take everyone’s money away.
